The watery cerebrospinal fluid that flows in the subarachnoid space (SAS) surrounds the entire central nervous system via symmetrical thermo-solute flow. The significance of this study was to present a flexible simulation based on theoretical vivo inputs onto a mathematical framework to describe the interaction of cerebrospinal fluid circulation restricted to a pathological disorder. The pathophysiology disorder hydrocephalus is caused by an enormous excess of asymmetric fluid flow in the ventricular region. This fluid imposition increases the void space of its boundary wall (Pia mater). As a result, the dumping effect affects an inertial force in brain tissues. A mathematical model was developed to impose the thermal dynamics of hydrocephalus, in which solute transport constitutes the excess watery CSF fluid caused by hydrocephalus, in order to demonstrate perspective changes in ventricular spaces. This paper investigated brain porous spaces in order to strengthen the acceleration and thermal requirements in the CNS mechanism. To characterize neurological activities, a unique mathematical model that includes hydrodynamics and nutrient transport diffusivity was used. We present the analytical results based on physical experiments that use the novel Laplace method to determine the nutrients transported through permeable pia (brain) parenchyma with suitable pulsatile boundary conditions. This causes high CSF pressure and brain damage due to heat flux over the SAS boundary wall. As a result of the increased Schmidt number, the analysis of the hydrocephalus problem revealed an increase in permeability and drop in solute transport. A high-velocity profile caused a rise in thermal buoyancy (Grashof number). When the CSF velocity reached an extreme level, it indicated a higher Womersley number. Additionally, the present study compared a number of clinical studies for CSF amplitude and pressure. We validated the results by providing a decent justification with the clinical studies by appropriate field references.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a symmetric flow transport that surrounds brain and central nervous system (CNS). Hydrocephalus is an asymmetric and unusual cerebrospinal fluid flow in the lateral ventricular portions. This dumping impact enhances the elasticity over the ventricle wall. Henceforth, compression change influences the force of brain tissues. Mathematical models of transport in the hydrocephalus, which constitutes an excess of fluid in the cavities deep within the brain, enable a better perspective of how this condition contributes to disturbances of the CSF flow in the hollow places of the brain. Recent approaches to brain phase spaces reinforce the foremost role of symmetries and energy requirements in the assessment of nervous activity. Thermophysical and mass transfer effects are therefore addressed in this paper to quantify the transport phenomena in pulsatile hydrocephalus CSF transport with oscillating pressure variations that characterize general neurological activity and transitions from one functional state to another. A new mathematical model is developed which includes porous media drag for brain tissue and solutal diffusion (concentration) effects. A classical Laplace transform method is deployed to solve the dimensionless model derived with appropriate boundary conditions. The analysis reveals that with increasing permeability of the subarachnoid space, the CSF velocity is increased, and a significant fluid flux enhancement arises through the brain parenchyma as the pressure of the fluid escalates drastically due to hydrocephalus disorder. Stronger thermal buoyancy (Grashof number) also results in deceleration in the flow. CSF temperature is reduced with progression in time. Particle (e.g. ion) concentration is suppressed with increasing Schmidt number. As heat conduction parameter increases, there is a substantial depletion in CSF velocity with respect to time. Increasing Womersley parameter displaces the CSF velocity peaks and troughs. The present effects are beneficial in determining the thermo-fluidic transport mechanism of the pathological disorder hydrocephalus. Also, the present results are compared with those clinical studies for some cases. We have confirmed that our validity provides a decent justification with the neurological studies.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a symmetric flow transport that surrounds brain and central nervous system (CNS). Congenital hydrocephalusis is an asymmetric and unusual cerebrospinal fluid flow during fetal development. This dumping impact enhances the elasticity over the ventricle wall. Henceforth, compression change influences the force of brain tissues. This paper presents a mathematical model to establish the effects of ventricular elasticity through a porous channel. The current model is good enough for immediate use by a neurosurgeon. The mathematical model is likely to be a powerful tool for the better treatment of hydrocephalus and other brain biomechanics. The non-linear dimensionless governing equations are solved using a perturbation technique, and the outcome is portrayed graphically with the aid of MATLAB.
